CUSHIONeROLL. FOR CARRIAGE-SEATS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent o. 434,789, dated August19, 1890. Application filed December 2l, 1889. Serial No. 334,557. (Nomodel.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HOWARD K, JAMES, a citizen of the United States,residing at Cincinnati, Hamilton county,Ohio, have invented certain newand useful Improvements in Carriage-Seat Cushions, of which thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact specification.

This invention has for its obj ect to provide novel means whereby acushion-roll can be conveniently applied to and removed from acarriage-seat cushion.

This object I accomplish in the manner and by the means hereinafterdescribed and claimed, reference being made to the accompanyingdrawings, in wl1ich Figure l is a perspective view of a cushion attachedto a carriage-seat. Fig. 2 is a detail sectional View of the cushion andcushion- Ioll. Fig. 3 is a broken plan View of the same.

In the drawings, the numeral l represents an ordinary oarriage=seatg 2,the arms of the seat; 3, the back; 4, a cushion having at the margin awelt c, and 5 the cushion-roll, which is made of the desired shape,form, and contour to fit between the arms 2. This cushion-roll isprovided with two welts a b, arranged, respectively, at Opposite edges,and the welt b is attached to the cushion-welt c by stitches or tacks,forming-a flexible conion.

nec-tion of the two parts. This method of attaching forms a spacebetween the cushionroll 5 and the cushion 4, so that the cushionroll maylie at any desired angle to the cush The welts b c act as a hinge forthe cushion-roll to turn upon, so that it will fit any inclination ofseat and form a iinish when attached to it,while the welt a furnishes ameans for tacking the cushion-roll to the seat. By this construction thecushion-roll can be readily taken off with the cushion, and I avoid thenecessity of u pholstering the roll upon the cushion-arm, as hasheretofore been the custom in the manufacture of cushion-rolls.

Vhat I claim is v The combination of the seat-cushion 4, having at itsfront edge a welt o, and cushionroll 5, having at its opposite edges thewelts ce and l), One secured to the Welt on the seatcushion and theother adapted to be secured to the front of a seat, substantially asdescribed.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
